Decide between two offers
Two offers on the table and a deadline you keep pushing back.
Help me choose between these two offers. I want a recommendation, not a balanced list. 1. Build a comparison across: total compensation over three years including equity assumptions, the work itself, who I would learn from, the risk each carries, and what each does to my options two years out. 2. Name the factors I am weighting too heavily because they are easy to measure, and the ones I am underweighting because they are not. 3. Ask me at most three questions whose answers would change the recommendation. 4. Then commit: which offer, and why, in one paragraph. 5. Finally, describe the version of me who would regret that choice, and say whether that person sounds like me. Offer A: Offer B: What matters to me:
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Raises and moves. Promotion cases, reviews, offers, hard conversations and deciding whether to leave.
